Evaluation of the Effect of Selected Physiological Fluid Contaminants on the Mechanical Properties of Selected Medium-Viscosity PMMA Bone Cements

“…Despite optimized cement preparation and proper pre-cementing technique, the biomechanical properties of the bone cement used appear to be very important in preventing aseptic loosening of the implant [ 26 , 27 ]. The mechanical properties of bone cements may be affected by factors such as antibiotic content; intentionally introduced admixtures [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]; or contaminants present in the surgical field such as blood, bone tissue fragments, saline solution [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ] or commonly used lavage solutions [ 37 ], as well as the mixing process itself [ 38 , 39 , 40 ] and the preparation of the cement for implantation. Intensive research is currently being conducted to improve the thermal, mechanical and biological properties of bone cements [ 16 ].…”

Novel oxygen-generation from electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds with anticancer properties: synthesis of PMMA-conjugate PVP–H2O2 nanofibers, characterization, and in vitro bio-evaluation tests

“…19 Furthermore, cell adhesion and stability in the body fluid represent important properties of PMMA. 20,21 Currently, PMMA is mostly used in dentistry as a promising bio-compatible material, 22 as bone cement in orthopedic surgery, 23 as well as in intraocular lenses. 24…”
